Reserve
Bank
of New Zealand Governor Orr spoke to various media, further conveying
his message
that the Bank
intends to lower
interest rates toward a more neutral setting at a measured pace. The
RBNZ began its easing cycle on Wednesday, Orr was out selling it
today again. The New Zealand dollar hasn’t done a lot on the
session. It dipped but bounced back with the rising AUD (more to come
on this)

From
Japan we had data for Q2 GDP, showing the economy expanded by a much
faster-than-expected annualised 3.1% in the quarter. It rebounded
from the contraction in Q1. Consumption grew strongly. The Bank of
Japan will be eyeing this as support for its rate hike cycle. The yen
weakened a little but is back to mid range and thereabouts as I post.

Australia’s
economy added 58,200 jobs (full-time employment rocketed 60,500, for
a third month of strong gains) in July after the 52.2K rise in June.
Participation rose to a record high, while the unemployment rate
ticked up a little to 4.2%. AUD/USD has risen from pre-data lows of
under 0.6575 to 0.6620+ as I post.

The
regular People’s Bank of China Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF)
operation did not take place today. Its been scheduled for August 26.
The Bank added in nearly 600bn yuan in a 7-day reverse repo, which
more than covers the 401bn yuan of MLF maturing. See bullets above
for more info if needed.
